Trump to have his face on US passports

By our reporter 29.4.2026
US President Donald Trump will have his face on the pages of the country’s international passport as part of America’s 250th anniversary celebrations.
According to the State Department between 25,000 and 30,000 of the new passports will be available to applicants at the Washington, D.C., passport office beginning shortly before July 4.
The concept for the special passport, including a rendering of Trump’s stern-looking visage, had been under consideration for months before finally being approved late Monday.
The commemorative passport will be the default document for people applying in person at the Washington office, although those who want a standard passport will be able to get one by applying online or outside Washington, officials said.
“As the United States celebrates America’s 250th anniversary in July, the State Department is preparing to release a limited number of specially designed U.S. passports to commemorate this historic occasion,” State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott said.
“These passports will feature customized artwork and enhanced imagery while maintaining the same security features that make the U.S. passport the most secure documents in the world,” he said.
Trump will be the first US president to have his face on the country’s passport. Before this development, there were also indications he will have his portrait on the US currency. He has also named buildings after himself.
